Meanwhile, Yu Qi sat in Long Hui"s vehicle nervously. She regretted agreeing to Long Hui so that he would send her to the market. Her mouth was faster than her brain. Aoi licked his beastmaster to calm her. He also turned to Long Hui. He marked this man. His beastmaster seemed afraid to this man.
"Did you always went to the mountain?" Long Hui started to question her.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you went to the mountain? It was dangerous to a girl like you."
"It was safer than being with you." She mumbling slowly.
"What?" Long Hui asked. He could hear her answered him but he could not hear the detail of it.
"I went to find wild vegetables to sell. I can get some money from it." Yu Qi finally answered his question.
"Did you have Doctor Tang support you?"
"I can get the money from my own effort. Besides food and place to stay, I cannot ask Grandpa Tang for money. It might consider rude because I already received a lot of help from him."
"Then, what about the lands?"
"That money came from the money that I sold the ginseng." She retorted.
Long Hui stunned. He thought she asked her grandfather the money to buy the lands.
"I"m sorry." He apologized.
"Huh? Why did you apologize?"
"Because I thought that you asked your grandfather money."
"Oh, it"s okay." This guy quickly apologized when he thought he was wrong. His image in her eyes improved a little bit. Just a little.
They arrived at the market. Yu Qi saw the auntie that brought her wild vegetable before. She quickly greeted her.
"Aunt Chang." Yu Qi greeted her.
"Owh, my dear. It has been a long time since the last time you came here. Did you have vegetables? The last time I brought vegetables from you, my customers came back to buy it again." Aunt Chang happily reported to Yu Qi about what had happened.
"I"m busy lately. Only today I have time to go to the mountain. Wait here, I will get the vegetables." Yu Qi turned around and her eyes locked to the man quietly standing behind her with the baskets.
"Thank you."
"Welcome, my dear." Long Hui smiled sweetly to Yu Qi.
Aunt Chang who looking that the couple also smiled. This man was very handsome. If she was young like Yu Qi, she may be falling in love with this man. Seemed this man was chasing Yu Qi. She could tell that this man tried to tackle Yu Qi.
"What a good man you have here." Aunt Chang praised Long Hui and continued, "Yu Qi, is this your boyfriend?"
Yu Qi "No."
Long Hui " Not yet."
They answered quickly and stared at each other. Long Hui was smiling charmingly to make Yu Qi fall in love with him. Yu Qi, on another hand, when she looked at that smile, her heart fluttered. She then turned around.
"Aunt Chang, this is the vegetable that I managed to collect today." Yu Qi changed the topic and talked to Aunt Chang and pointed to the two baskets that Long Hui put already.
"Owh...It"s a lot." Aunt Chang"s s.h.i.+ned when she looked at the vegetables. She asked her staff and separated them according to its types.
"Yu Qi can I pay you tomorrow? I have to calculate them first." Looking at the vegetable, she sure they don"t have enough time to calculate them while Yu Qi was waiting. The night approaching. She also had to close the shop.
"Sure. I don"t mind. I will come here for two days later." Yu Qi really did not mind because she knew that they have to separate them, weigh them and calculate according to the market price.
"Okay, Yu Qi. Thank you. I am sure that your collected vegetable is out of stock when you came later." Aunt Chang nodded.
"Okay, I have to go. See you later." Yu Qi turned and walked home.
"Come. I will send you home." Long Hui blocked Yu Qi"s way.
"My home was only 15 minutes from here. You don"t have to send me back." Yu Qi lifted Aoi and hugged him to her chest.
"Well, I want to." He ignored Yu Qi"s protest.
Eventually, Yu Qi gave up. She allowed Long Hui walked her home.
"It was in my mind since then. Where did you find this puppy?" Long Hui asked about the puppy that looked so happy in her hug.
"Aoi? I found him on the mountain. He was so cute so I decided to take care of him." Yu Qi did not realize that she was smiling happily to Long Hui.
Long Hui stunned when she smiling at him looking like this. This was the second time that she genuinely smiling at him.
"Look at his eyes. His eyes are blue in color. So that why I named him "Aoi". And look. His fur was very smooth. I like to pat him." Yu Qi totally blabbering about Aoi to Long Hui. She seemed to forget who was with her.
Long Hui had a gentle look on his face. Now he thought Yu Qi was very very cute when she was blabbering about her puppy.
While someone was looking at them with hatred. That girl could not be happy. She had to suffer after what she had done. Then, that "someone" turned back left.
